Summary: This week's show features an update on the KidCast Awards - we had over 150 submissions! These represent some really excellent work by teachers and students. I'm looking forward to sharing the results with you soon. Check back after May 15th for results. This episode was recorded using Ubercaster, a full featured podcast studio that offers some great work flows and creative options for podcasters. It takes some serious horse power and a lot of preparation (which is actually a great thing!) Ubercasters gets you to think about podcasting as a performance as much as a production. You can download a demo at ubercaster.com Mothers day is just around the corner, so I decided to throw in a little podsafe music, "Mother", from Kevin Reeves. There has been a bit of a backlash lately toward the iPod. I think most of it is drummed up media hype, but it is important to address these kinds of concerns by engaging administrators and teachers about how to address cheating and appropriate use through effective classroom management not knee jerk generalizations. I end this episode with a sound seeing tour from Massacre Canyon in south west Nebraska. I love discovering cool little piece of history like this and it gave me an excellent change to bring out the iPod and do a soundseeing tour.
